Bastropians for Open Government (BOG) Don’t Bog Transparency Down! Please visit the BastropBOG.com website for lots more!
Mission Statement: BOG is a coalition of people in Bastrop -- city and county – who seek transparency and openness in local government and adherence to the Texas Open Meetings Act.
Have you ever attended or watched a public meeting and had the feeling that everything has already been decided and the public comments are merely tolerated but make no impact? You may feel that way because it is happening in Bastrop right now.
Imagine 3 (out of 5) City Council Members meeting to discuss city business in private. Imagine the same three then meet, negotiate and strategize with the city manager, developer or anybody else, not in a public meeting but in private, away from the public. out of the public eye.
Does this seem right to you? Every person we’ve talked to says the same thing. Absolutely not!
